As part of hardening work, the lynx port has disabled anything
which permits executing programs directly (this was to try to
bring it more in-line with the sandboxing done in the bigger
graphical browsers).
Also see the manpage:
-restrictions=[option][,option][,option]...
allows a list of services to be disabled selectively. Dashes and
underscores in option names can be intermixed. The following list is
printed if no options are specified.
On OpenBSD the following restrictions are always enabled: editor,
exec, mail, and shell. Additionally, bibp-urls, dired, finger,
rlogin, and telnet features have been disabled entirely.
